College MatchDay Info | USTA National Campus
Air Force men's and women's tennis programs will be making a return to the USTA (United States Tennis Association) National Campus in Orlando, Fla. to face Navy on Feb. 18 as part of College MatchDay.
College MatchDay, the USTA's popular neutral-site college tennis showcase event, will return to the USTA National Campus in 2023 with two marquee matchups. The 2023 events, both set for February, will see the men's teams from Florida and Florida State square off, as well as the men and women of Air Force and Navy. College MatchDay has averaged more than 1,000 fans since it debuted at the Campus in 2017.
The second College MatchDay event of 2023 will feature both the men's and women's teams from Air Force and Navy on Saturday, Feb. 18. Air Force has twice played at College MatchDay in the past, squaring off against service academy rival Army in 2019 and 2022. This will be Navy's first appearance on College MatchDay, and the first time in program history for both women's teams to face one another in dual play. The Air Force-Navy match will feature a number of military-themed tributes, including a free clinic for veterans and a flyover.
Both College MatchDay events will be streamed live on ESPN+.
About College MatchDay
College MatchDay was created in 2013 by the USTA to showcase some of the best college tennis teams and campuses the sport has to offer. In 2017 with the opening of the Campus and its Collegiate Center in Orlando, College MatchDay now has a permanent home.
Some of the most memorable crowds have been a part of College MatchDay, including 1,033 fans for the first event in 2013 when the Florida women topped Stanford in Gainesville. One year later, 1,072 fans watched as visiting Texas defeated the TCU men.
Since moving to the Campus, College MatchDay eventually produced some of the largest crowds to attend regular-season college tennis matches. Along with over 1,700 fans who attended the Florida vs. Florida State contests in 2017 and 2018, an average of more than 1,800 tickets and passes were acquired for the 2019 season. One year later, two of the largest crowds to watch a women's-only match stormed the Campus for Florida State vs. Ohio State and Notre Dame vs. USC.
When MatchDay returned in 2022, all tickets (more than 2,000) were acquired for matches that featured the men and women of Florida and Florida State, as well as Air Force and Army.
